Description:
A photographic slide in a small cardboard Kodachrome frame (off white with yellow and red corner trim). The frame is labeled "July 4 — 62 Juneau" in handwriting. The image shows an unknown street in Juneau along the parade route. The image is captured on a diagonal, showing the street stretching to a perpendicular intersection in the background, beyond which there are rounded mountains. There are buildings, storefronts and spectators on either side, with power lines crossing the top of the image. A float is traveling along the street away from the camera, white with blue bottom tassels and an open canopy with blue tassels. Rear text reads "Epsilon Sigma Alpha Sorority". It is the same float from the previous slide, with the same group of young people dressed as pioneers. The number "33" is printed in ink on the frame at the upper left. Also bears the printed text "JUL 62P" on the bottom edge, perhaps indicating when the slide was developed.
